No. 14. PAPERS RELATIVE TO THE OF

NEGRO INSURRECTION

1736.

" His Excellency and Council to the Gentlemen of the Assembly. " GENTLEMEN— " I think fit to lay before you a remonstrance I have received from the justices who have examined into the intended insurrection of the negroes. I could not forbear remarking to this board the grateful sense I have of this great service, and have found here every member as moved as myself. I cannot doubt but the Assembly will give a public testimony of their satisfaction and acknowledgment to the gentlemen, from whose wisdom, public zeal, and indefatigable care, we found a crime of the deepest die, and of universal danger, and the public safety secured by the most criminal having been brought to justice. " By command, "DE LA COURT WALSH, &C."
